We performed a comparison between Codebeamer and Rally Software based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You can track the metrics in the Agile dashboard very easily."
"Codebeamer's API-based integration and many other integration aspects with other solutions are very powerful."
"The solution easily replaces IBM DOORS, which no longer offers maintenance in China."
"Since implementing this solution we have better communication and information exchange with customers."
"One of the most valuable features of Codebeamer is its strong performance."
"The platform provided the flexibility to expand our business processes, accommodating or altering them to suit the requirements of a changing environment."
"The traceability is so simple that I don't need to do any additional configurations related to traceability."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Kanban board."
"Rally Software provides the capability to accurately estimate the time required for building large software projects, which can be challenging to predict...Rally Software enables us to schedule tasks better, allocate resources, and meet project deadlines."
"We've actually used it for virtual PI planning. We have teams in different locations, and we actually virtually do PI planning, big-room planning, using the tools."
"The most valuable feature is actually creating a field within there for architectural review. So when teams are struggling or have questions on the architecture or strategy that they take, they can actually flag that particular story, release, or project. Those can then be reviewed by the architecture team and the teams actually get additional information on how to course-correct, build on the architecture that we're trying to build throughout the organization, and get over road blocks much quicker."
"It helps me evaluate teams' historical performance using velocity charts."
"It drives the conversation behind some of the pain points the teams have, based on the data that we're able to pull out of the system. As a result of that, we're able to make better decisions, to become better as a whole."
"Ease of use - I don't even know when a new release is coming and I don't need to because it's so easy to use what's new."
"The configurable Portfolio Management and parent-child relationships."
"It would be helpful if Codebeamer's overall processing and integration with software like Jira could be improved."
"We would like to see more industry-specific features that are tailored to the vertical markets."
"Usability needs to be improved."
"During migrations from other platforms to CodeBeamer, there have been instances where we encountered issues that required redoing certain tasks."
"It's still a fairly new tool that lacks maturity right now."
"The search and replace feature within the tool itself could be improved."
"The solution has a very small market share in China. It's almost like a startup."
"The product's UI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It is hard to track the changes. For example, we're in sprint 25, and then we have 26, 27, 28, and 29. Throughout that whole time, we're developing pipelines in Azure, moving to GitHub, creating pipelines, and working with teams. But sometimes, we need to revisit specific decisions made in previous sprints, like pipeline details. Maybe it's in our Azure Wiki, GitHub, or Teams, but it's not always consistent. I wish I could search for all tasks or stories related to that particular effort without needing to know everyone's individual stories or features."
"In terms of improvement, perhaps some more metrics. If they could add some additional, that would be cool."
"I'd like to be able to color code timeboxes, so I have an easy visual way to track the success of sprints."
"It could improve by being self-organizing: user stories, different hierarchies, and different perspectives. Not just as a single hierarchical structure, but something that can be multidimensional."
"I would like to see more Kanban support. As it stands, it doesn't seem to have the features or the layouts that the teams really need to be able to execute their tasks. It almost tries to force you into more of a Scrum style."
"The navigation within the tool sometimes is a little tricky for me. I'm sure with more use, more practice, I'll become accustomed to it, but some of the things just aren't intuitive."
"In Rally Software, the connection with GitLab and GitHub needs improvement."
"Customization features may not be exposed or unavailable, so people may be looking for them. So, customization is an area people have told me is more desirable."
